New England’s foundation on Puritan principles established a culturally distinct society compared to the more secular Chesapeake.
The appointment of royal governors in both regions shows a minor shared administrative practice.
Both regions were subject to British trade policies, including the Navigation Acts, which imposed similar restrictions despite their cultural differences.
The Chesapeake’s tobacco-based economy and New England’s emphasis on trade clearly illustrate divergent regional development.
